I'm heading to the bathroom, I need to fix my hair or everyone will believe bad things about us for our few hours away. I ask Santiago to come with me and he agrees, well, he has no choice, besides, I don't have any friends here so Santiago is my only option. He waits for me outside with his upright and manly demeanor, a true gentleman who makes every girl who passes by him stare at him for several seconds, two girls walk by and stare at him, he watches them, I lean on him bathroom door frame to see how he gives those ladies a serious but seductive look, he turns to see me, I wave to him with my hand that I'm looking at him and he laughs out loud, I smile at him and close the door I get out of the bathroom, I fix my hair and my makeup, I still look good at this time of night, I go out and Santiago is already looking at his watch."Damn, I'll have to hide all the watches from you," I mention, walking towards him, he looks up and smiles at me.“If you hide the watches from me, I fail as
The light is already hitting my face and I can't stand it, I open my eyes and I have an edge of pizza tangled in my hair, ah! I didn't even change and fell asleep. I try to cover my eyes from the brightness of the sun that enters through the window, Santiago is not there, as always his addiction to getting up early even though he only sleeps four hours, I go into the bathroom, I had not removed my makeup the night before and therefore my face of drugged raccoon is noticeable, the makeup had run all over my eyes.I take off my clothes and go into the shower, I wash all my makeup and my hair, the water is warm, it feels good, I dry my body and my hair and I come out with a pink robe that is in the bathroom, in my suitcase I look for my underwear, I don't feel like going with obnoxious dresses so I look for some pants, these jeans are good, this black tank top and this bomber jacket is more than enough, this is good.I go into the bathroom to get dressed in case Santiago comes back and l
I wake up suddenly when I hear the door to my room open, two silhouettes are at the door, I blink several times to adjust to the light and I see that the person leaning on the threshold is... Santiago? I rub my eyes as Natalie closes the door, Santiago approaches me with a frown.Alex, are you okay? she asks, I clear my throat so as not to sound sleepy as I sit on the mattress of my bed, damn Natalie who doesn't ask me if she can let someone into my room, luckily I put all my clothes in the closet.“Hey “I say, with a nervous laugh, I hope it doesn't show on my face that I've slept for more than four hours “May I know why you didn't warn me before coming? He sits on the edge of the bed and stares at me.“I called you ten times and you didn't answer, that's why I came, I worried “I frowned “I brought you something “he mentions, and he hands me something that I look at with an arched eyebrow. What?“A plush monkey? Is seriously? I say, leaning back against the head of the bed with a smi
I don't know how many times I forgot to breathe today but I had to do everything I do in a day in just two hours. At what time did I tell him that I did want to go to France? After tripping over a pot, hitting my little finger on the desk, throwing soda on myself and forgetting to drink coffee, I'm on my way to France wanting to sleep but Santiago won't let me because he's working so am I.It's a nice afternoon that welcomes us at the Paris airport, it makes up for all the work I've done today. I'm excited to arrive, so excited that I hug Santiago and he frowns at me."We don't come here for a walk, we come to work," he mentions, that last word in pauses, Santiago the killjoy as always.A limousine is heading us somewhere, I look out the window, not coming to this city for so long until I see that something has changed. The driver and another uniformed man get out of the limo and go to where I think the suitcases are, Santiago gets out of the limo holding the door for me to get out, a
I froze for a few seconds. He too.She was standing in front of Raymond, how could I forget his gray eyes, his disheveled brown hair, those two dimples that form on his cheeks every time he smiles... How could I forget my first love?... well, not like that either, but yes He was the first boy I liked... and above all, how can I forget that he left me for Suzanne when he went to college just because he had money?“Alex? “he asks, reacting after a few seconds, he smiles, there they are, his two attractive dimples “My God! Alex! So long! “he approaches me and gives me a hug, for a few seconds I don't react “Honey, this is Alex... An old friend from high school.She does know me, she used to send Raymond pictures in her underwear when they barely met on Facebook."Hello Suzanne, it's my pleasure" I say as I shake my hand, she looks at me with her big brown eyes and smiles mockingly at me."The pleasure is mine, Alex," he says, his voice cracking my eardrums.“Ohh, great that you meet “spe
I enter the house still tired from the unsuccessful run after Santiago, it smells divine, my stomach growls, I go inside and walk towards the dining room, most of them are already here, what Santiago has saved himself from, at the moment he is sitting in the dining room talking to a guy sitting in front of him, I hadn't seen him before, he has a general's uniform, his black hair perfectly combed back, he looks interested talking to Santiago. Who can be so interested in what Santiago is talking about? Just someone who likes power.I need to change before meeting with all of Santiago's family, I don't want them to look at me with all this sweat running down my body, I go up to the room and see that everything is perfectly arranged, even all the clothes are already in the closet, there are no more not a single trace of suitcases, I open the first drawer of a white cabinet with a huge mirror that is in front of me, there is all my underwear. Has anyone seen my underwear? All the lace pant
We walk around the city, I like Lindsey, her free and daring spirit, her detailed opinion of life, her truthfulness in describing who she is, her loyalty to the things she loves without caring about being criticized, her realism, her way of being. She reminds me a lot of Natalie, they would get along, or maybe they would hate each other, Natalie doesn't get along with any woman who has a similar personality to hers.Despite having money, Lindsey is pretty straightforward. He does not visit expensive stores or designer clothes, he gets excited when he sees things on sale. We entered all possible stores. He came out with more than five bags in each hand and on the way bought clothes for me. I already have enough clothes."I don't need clothes, I still have many that I haven't worn," I say, walking around a pile of clothes on sale.“And? That's how women are “she says, while she places both blouses in front of me, because then I think I'm not a woman “The beige or the pink one? Choose."
“Alex! Wake up! Let's go up! “I hear a voice that I can't recognize even when I'm asleep “Alex, for God's sake! How lazy you are “ and a little more awake I recognize that it is Santiago's voice, I half”open my eyes, the light from the lamp illuminates the room a little, I see Santiago's silhouette with a black jumpsuit and putting a red sweatshirt on his muscular torso “Alex go! He continues and approaches me with a frown. “That? What's the matter? “my sleepy voice is noticeable. “You promised me to go running... Do you remember? His demanding eyes look at me and my brain tries to remember when I made that promise. Ah that's right, why do I promise things without thinking? Bitch. He pulls the blanket that covers my body and immediately I feel every hair on my body stand on end from the cold. I look at the clock on the nightstand, and the huge red letters say 4 and 23 am. “Santiago It's 4! “I try to retrieve the blanket to put it back on me but Santiago pulls it back leaving it e
